Reviews for The Crediton Killings

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Synopsis: Mercenaries arrive in town and take over a pub, and of course one of the serving girls is attracted to the 'knight' leading the band. She is found murdered and the knight's silver stolen. While investigating the theft, a female beggar is murdered. As it turns out, the knight had an affair with the woman years before. And finally, the woman the knight is bedding is murdered. All the evidence points to the knight, but did he really do it?Review: These books are getting better. This one was very interesting until I figured out who actually was the murder, then it was just 'OK'.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jecks is certainly prolific and has many books to his credit now but when the word jail slips in instead of gaol, I begin to wonder how well researched these novels are. Well we start going down a convoluted plot and when it seems likely that one will never guess from clues whom we have as the culprit, process of elimination of characters that we have met leaves the solution very evident too early. Once you figure out the whodunit, because there are not enough red herrings for a reader, though certainly for our heroes, waiting for those heros to catch up is quite painful. Cadfael, where are you?
